We
have basically three broad hair loss categories
for residents in Athens, Greece or eastern
Europe.

1) Hair loss medications, pills, supplements or
lotions: nowadays there are a lot of hair loss
treatments mostly in the form of lotions and
sprays. They are all available for purchase on
the internet. Most vendors ship worldwide for a
small fee. Some of the biggest names are for
example:
Dr. Klein's Remox formula which contains the
FDA clinically proven minoxidil as one of the
key ingredients,
Revivogen hair therapy which is one of the
most established all natural anti DHT formula,
as well as
Dr. Razack's Crinagen, another all natural
hair loss formula. Of course, there are also
popular medications such as Propecia which are
available from
Pills for All.

2)
The second category is non-surgical hair
replacement systems or sometimes referred to as
hairpiece, hair system, or toupee. The idea is
to attach a hair system unit to the balding area
by means of glue, adhesives or double sided
tape. At this point, we do not know of any
outstanding full service hair replacement salons
in Greece or eastern Europe. For those who wish
to pursue non-surgical hair systems as a
solution to hair loss, they will have to do that
by mail order.

3)
Surgical hair replacement surgery or sometimes
referred to as hair transplant or hair
transplantation. DHI is probably the largest
hair transplant clinic that operates in Athens
or Greece. However, so far we have very few
published results from DHI in our hair
transplant open forum, we are unable to form an
opinion about the quality of their work. For
those considering hair transplant surgery as an
option, you should first check out our
hair transplant reviews section, this is by
far the most important first step you can take
when researching a quality hair transplant
doctor or clinic.

One thing you must familiarize yourself is a new
hair replacement technique called FUE or
Follicular Unit Extraction. FUE stands for
Follicular Unit Extraction. NO KNIFE, NO
SCALPEL, NO STITCHES, NO VISIBLE SCARRING. Truly
minimally invasive and fast healing time. This
is presently the most advanced hair
transplantation technique in the world. Only a
few doctors are truly qualified to perform this
type of procedure right now.

With FUE, you can even use your body hair as
donor and transplant that to the thinning areas
on your scalp. This technique is now commonly
referred to as the
Body Hair Transplant or BHT. It has been
proven to be a viable option and the body hair
can actually mimic the characteristics of your
scalp hair once transplanted to your scalp.

Peer reviewed study: A
Calculated Look at the Donor Area: Assessing the Yield of
Donor Harvesting Technique. published by Dr. Cole and Dr. Jean
Marc Devroye examining three densities that should be evaluated
by every physician on every hair transplant procedure.

Hair Orientation in Hair Transplantation, an in-depth
discussion by Dr. Cole on important factors that must be
considered about hair orientation in every hair transplant
procedure. Lateral slit techniques and its potential
benefits over the vertical or parasagittal slit is addressed.
